The arrest began at 9:34 p.m. in the area of Peck Road and Highway 126.

Officers were in the area when they began a traffic stop on a vehicle for a vehicle code violation. The vehicle began to slow down, but after the officer asked to pull off at the next exit, the vehicle sped off, according to authorities. A pursuit was initiated along the westbound side of Highway 126 until it exited onto Wells Road through Los Angeles Avenue in the city of Ventura.

The pursuit ended along Central Avenue in Camarillo. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Angel Luis Rangel, 42, of Santa Paula, who was found to be wanted on three felony arrest warrants for domestic violence charges, police said.

Rangel was arrested on suspicion of the three outstanding felony warrants, violating a restraining order, felony evasion and driving on a suspended license. He was booked into county jail where he is currently being held without bail.
